Question 4

McGregor

Answer 4

he proposed the x and y theories of motivation within a business. (workers behaviour)
The X theory states that:
- Individuals who dislike work and avoid it where possible
- Individuals who lack ambition, dislike responsibility and prefer to be led
-Individuals who desire security
The management implications for Theory X workers were that, to achieve organisational objectives, a business would need to impose a management system of coercion, control and punishment.

The Y theory states that:
- Consider effort at work as just like rest or play
-Ordinary people who do not dislike work. Depending on the working conditions, work could be considered a source of satisfaction or punishment
-Individuals who seek responsibility (if they are motivated)
The management implications for Theory X workers are that, to achieve organisational objectives, rewards of varying kinds are likely to be the most popular motivator. The challenge for management with Theory Y workers is to create a working environment (or culture) where workers can show and develop their creativity.
